Honda Safety Awards
No matter what type of driver you are, staying safe behind the wheel is a universally important aspect of driving. From a short drive across town to an extended cross-country road trip, you just never know what the unexpected has in store for you. No other automaker is as committed to protecting its drivers as Honda. In fact, Honda is proud to announce that a total of six 2022 Honda vehicles have earned recognition from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)* as either a Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick Plus. Honda East Cincinnati has assembled this guide which can help you learn all about the safest Honda vehicles in the lineup.
IIHS Top Safety Pick Awards Explained
In order to earn the coveted 2022 Top Safety Pick award, a vehicle must receive “Good” crashworthiness ratings in all test modes, including the rigorous passenger-side small overlap test. In addition, a top-rated vehicle must offer front crash prevention which earns an “Advanced” or “Superior” rating in both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian testing as well as “Good” or “Acceptable” ratings for available headlights. Top Safety Pick + (TSP+) rated vehicles must achieve the same “Good” or “Acceptable” rating for their standard headlights. Other Honda models are expected to receive top safety ratings from the IIHS in 2022 as the Institute completes further testing. In other news, every Honda model which has been fully evaluated in the NHTSA’s 2022 model year NCAP testing has received a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score**.
A total of six 2022 Honda models have been selected by the IIHS as Top Safety Picks. Honda Sensing® is now available or standard on every Honda automobile model, and there are nearly three million Honda vehicles on U.S. roads today equipped with this groundbreaking collection of safety and driver-assistive technologies.
